Of course it's still cheaper(and healthier) to eat at home, but buying all the menu items for home and ingredients, is not as cheap as people think.Yes. It's not nearly as cheap as you think. I cooked dinner for my wife the other night, and by the time I bought everything, we LITERALLY could have went out. It came out great, and we had leftovers, but the truth is, it's not a big money saver. One issue though is that restaurants use too much salt which yes, is not that healthy. I agree with you about the bread, it's hard to keep that in the house, as I don't like stale bread, and it gets stale quicker than we finish a loaf. The same with vegetables. I can't count how many time I went food shopping, bought fresh vegetables, and got busy the next few days and we coudln't cook, so wound up throwing them out. I don't like frozen vegetables (except some things like peas, etc), and definitely don't like canned either. I rather do without than have canned vegetables. Fresh ones though have a limited life, so if you aren't cooking them soon, they can go bad. As you said, much can go to waste if you aren't careful, even as a couple, not just alone. |
